1 year changing routine HELP PLEASE

Hi after some advice on my little girl who is nearly 12.5 months. We are having such a fight with her day naps. She normally wakes 6-6:30am and is showing tired signs again bout 8-9ish so this is when we put her down most days she will have a a good sleep of 1-1.5 but the arvo nap OMG is a nightmare. She is tired and looks like she will have a sleep but just plays and talks away in her cot which is fine cause she is still resting so after bout an hour I get her up. Generally then by 4-5 she is so cranky and irritable cause she hasn't had a nap. Surely I'm not missing her tired signs? Other change also is switching her ova to toddler formula, would like to no what ones you mums n dad's use. Thanks

We are in the same boat with DS who is the same age so I'm keen to know what other people did too

We just switched our son over to cows milk - I started off with A2 because its a bit easier on the tummy - and he has a bedtime formula bottle. We use Heinz gold formula - I really like it and I like that its Australian made and owned

I can't help with the formula question, but I just changed DS to one nap. I didn't think he was fighting his naps, but he had starting waking during the night (which he hadn't done for months). Since Sunday I've been keeping him up to 11am. He sleeps for 1.5-2hrs and then goes to bed at 7pm.

He cries a few times between 7-8.30pm, but is now sleeping through again. I have to move DS around during the day so that he doesn't get too bored and therefore tired/cranky. So we go to the park, sometimes play in his pen, or outside, or in the lounge room, or his bedroom.

I've been very surprised how well he's coped. I would recommend trying it for a few days and see how she goes.

Thanks everyone will try this and see how we go. Just when you think you have it all figured out and everything has been going good....then they want to change on you. I've recently gone back to work ft and bub is in family daycare 2 days and home with my husband 2 days then nannys 1 day so this probably hasn't helped either.
